I'll have to try that tomato-cream sauce, it looks good, and a great excuse to get some fennel. Thanks for the yogurt friendly substitution since I'm also more likely to have that on hand than heavy cream.

If you want to substitute for the chicken, you can try farmer's cheese/queso fresco/queso de frier/a similar mild white cheese, as these are all roughly equivalent to paneer. Will I think less of you for doing so? Inexplicably, yes. But that is another option. :-P

As far as the yogurt container, it was mainly a consequence of the fact that "1 cup yogurt" happened to be "all of the yogurt that is left in that one container". It seemed silly to dirty a real dish for marinating, even if a picture was later necessary for an Important Illustrative Point.
